"You Roc...From one 80's closet rocker to another... "You Rock!" (Def Leppard is my FAVE!) I am so happy for you for finally doing something for yourself. I think every mom totally feels how you've felt... like we just become "mom" and lose the person we used to be. I know I've felt like that, and running and biking always make me feel like this is ME! <br /><br />And the whole weight thing... I'm the same way. The more I run/bike/excercise the harder it is to lose weight. Its so weird. I feel better when I excercise, but its so frusterating to not drop those pounds! You always look great though. Good luck in the marathon. I wish I was doing it with you!Annette Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14111041885597586148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3671597020129253156.post-46800334361662895232009-05-16T01:29:00.000-07:002009-05-16T01:29:00.000-07:00Wendi I am so proud of you.
